As communities seek to lower the impact of COVID-19, many families are spending a lot of time at home with their kids. PJ Library is here to support you with virtual story times, activities, recipes, and Jewish resources.
The Jewish Federation of Greater New Orleans
has launched the
Greater New Orleans Jewish Community Response Initiative
, with the goal of providing connection during this time of physical distance, as well as providing practical assistance, ie, food, supplies, and prescription drug pick-up for those in need. For information, including how to get help or to volunteer, visit the link above.
Jewish Family Service of Greater New Orleans
maintains a comprehensive
COVID-19 Resource Page
, including parenting support, community services, practical resources, mental health advice, and ways you can help. Valuable for everyone!
